Hurrlcana Reporter
"Impact 71 is less than a week
away and the planned activities are in
full swing.
Eighty seven contestants entered
the "Draft the Queen" contest and
only twelve are left," Hope Kourland,
chairman of the queen's contest said.
Miss Kourland said that the students selected five finalists out of
the 12 semi-finalists in an election for
the Homecoming Queen yesterday in
the Student Union Breezeway.
"There were more freshmen in the
contest than from any other classification. There are three semifinalists
from every class. They were judged on
beauty and poise," Miss Kourland
said.
The Queen will be drafted and
crowned during a "unique" program
planned for Thursday, October 28 on
the Student Union Patio at 8 p.m. The
finalists as well as the judges will all
be dressed in Army uniforms since the
theme is "The Army Feels the Draft."
"For the final judgment all the
contestants will perform variety acts.
The best act will receive the crown,
provided she has excelled in other
phases of competition. The theme will
be 'Beat the Army,'" Miss Kourland
said.
The names of the semi-finalists
are: Roberta Haivey, 1968 Complex;
Freshman; Peggy Litchford, Alpha
Delta  Pi,   Freshman;   Robyn   Rentz,
Kappa Kappa, Gamma, Freshman; EI-
oise Taylor ZBT, Soph.; Linda Thompson, Chi Omega, Soph.; Holiday
Jones, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Soph.;
Angela Miller, ZBT, Jr. Sunni Beakley,
Pi Kappa Alpha, Jr.; Lois V. Smith, Phi
Beta Sigma, Jr.; Tina Etling, Delta
Gamma, Sr.; Diane Daughetee, Delta
Zeta, Sr.; Debra Butler, Black Sisters,
Sr.
"We feel that this contest will he
better than those in the past, since the
standards are higher this year than
they have been In the past," Miss
Kourland said.
Miss Kourland said that the judges
come from the University administration and local citizens consisting of
five men judges and one woman judge.
"During this time there will also be
a pep-rally and a boat burning for the
UM-Army game. We hope that this occasion will instill in the students the
true spirit of UM," Bill Hartman,
chairman of homecoming said.
Hartman said that after the rally
we will hold our candlelight procession around the lake. Students and
Alumni are welcome. "We hope that
all the lighted candles will prove to be
a beautiful and moving experience,"
Hartman said.
"I would like to remind everyone
that the Homecoming parade will be
on Wednesday night October 27, at
7:30 p.m.," hartman said. "We have
more of everything in this parade and
expect it to be one of our best. We are
expecting a large turnout for it."

Elevated Campus Crime Rate
Indicated By Students' Fears
By KINGSLEY RUSH
and ERIC BALOFF
Ol The Hurricane Staff
Fear for personal safety
and fear of robbery and theft
appears to be on the minds
of a majority of UM students
this year.
In our weekly poll, 100 UM
students were polled on controversial questions.
This is how it went this
week:
When on campus, do you
feel safe from personal harm,
robbery and theft?
YES        NO       UNDECIDED
32% BI'V, 7%
Due to a rash of crime on
campus, we thought it might
be interesting to test the
mood of the campus on this
subject.

Park and felt less threatened

Aid Former Student
A 21 year old former UM student facing certain death
from kidney failure, is in need of $5,000 to help pay for a kidney transplant.
A drive to collect money for the George Nottage Kidney
Fund will start Friday in the Breezeway of the Student Union.
Nottage, who is not enrolled in UM this semester because
of his illness, now spends seven hours a day, every other day,
on a kidney dailysis machine which cleanses his blood.
Nottage will die if he does not continue the dialysis treatment or undergo the kidney transplant. He chose the transplant even though it is a high risk operation because as a
young man he feels he could not go through life living off of a
machine. ,

Although President Nixon
is polling a majority of UM
students, John V. Lindsay
drew some republicans over
to the democratic ticket.
However, the trend is still
a conservative one. Of the
four leading contenders from
the Democratic party, Lindsay seems to be the most
popular so far.
Next week, we will offer
two more choices.
Would you favor seating
Formosa, Red China, or both
Red China and Formosa in
the United Nations?

BOTH UNDECIDED

The United Nations vote
on this   question is   rapidly
approaching. The United
States appears to back a
"Two China" policy while
Red China and Formosa have
stated they will not accept a
seat if they must share it.
"Both Chinas represent a
certain group of people with
certain philosophies," one
student said, "I believe they
both should be seated; equally but separately."
More students felt that both
Chinas should be allowed in
than those who felt that only
Red China or Formosa should
be seated alone. However
more students favored Retf
China being seated than Formosa.
"I don't feel that Red
China and Formosa could get
along in the UN, and Red
China represents a greater
number of people' so they
should get the representation," one coed said.

reports unfavorably on general concert security and
crowd behavior.
UM Vice President for Student Affairs William r Butler, In a memorandum to the
Hurricane staff writer Jill H.
Movshin, announced the formation of the committee.
Butler cited "inadequate
handling of (last) Sunday
evening's concert" as the
reason for his action in forming the committee and his refusal to allow a reappearance
ot the musical group, It's A
Beautiful Day, on Monday
evening.
The Concert Evaluation
Committee will be responsible for reporting on crowd
and security activities at
each concert. A similar committee was formed last year
to evaluate student conduct
at concerts after a moratorium on campus concerts was
lifted.
Butler said that the new
committee would also study
and make a recommendations for a location to be
used as a permanent site for
concerts.
In a meeting last Wednesday morning, Butler outlined
and discussed with concerned students and administrators the new concert series changes that could be
made to alleviate the present
situation.
Butler said that reports he
had received on the Boz
Scaggs-It's A Beautiful Day
concert led him to the conclusion that the student marshal system had failed in
preventing non-students
trom gaining entrance to the
concert.
Flagrant use of drugs and
a lack of student responsibility toward required administrative details at last Sunday's concert were cited by
Butler as reasons to end the
UM concert series.
"There were roving bands
of young people at Sunday's
concert, and I don't want to
see anyone hurt," Butler
said.
According to Student Entertainment Committee
Chairman Glen Lipnick,
about 400 people were seated
in the restricted baseball
field.
Butler said that the inadequate lighting in the concert
area compounded the danger
of students being harmed. He
pointed out that tonight's
concert might provide some
special problems for the security forces.
Butler felt that the proximity of black neighborhoods in
the UM area along with Cannonball Adderly performing
tonight could be an attraction for young blacks to attend.
Steve Sehifrin, in charge of
the student security force at
concerts, said that many of
the security people were attacked last week when they
tried to prevent outsiders
from "crashing" the concert.

Future Concerts In Peril
HURRICANE OPINION
The lack of security precautions
and the flagrant drug abuse -which
was evident at last Sunday's concert has threatened the future of on
campus concerts. And only the students have the power to make sure
that they remain.
When the   edict   banning concerts from campus was passed last
year, there was an uproar from the
students who felt that it was absurd
to make them travel all the way to
Miami Marine   Stadium when   the
Soccer   Field   was  perfectly   adequate. When given the  chance to
have concerts back on campus (at
the Sewage Treatment   Plant) the
situation    was    vastly   improved.
"Outsiders" were kept to a minimum, drug abuse was less obvious
and security was more than adequate.
However, last Sunday the situation was worse than it had ever
been. The threat of physical violence constantly hung over the concert grounds. People sitting directly
in front of the stage were lighting
joints and freely passing them
around. Lighting was also inadequate.
Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. William Butler became
concerned, as he should have been,
when he heard the report. On some
campuses, the concert serves ■would
have been aboUshed \mmediateW
after such a fiasco. But Dr. Butler
has decided to give UM students
one more chance.
A committee has been set up of
students and non-students to observe the Cannonball Adderly concert which takes place tonight. This
is it. If you blow it this time, you
may have blown it for good.
The advice we have to give is
the same as last year. Blow your
dope at home and don't add to the
problem. Don't help "outsiders" to
get in. You're only helping to jeopardize the concert series that you
are paying for when you help high
school students sneak in.
Better security personnel must
be hired. Too many students hired
to work security conveniently forgot what they were being paid to do
once the music started.
Also, Coral Gables and University police should be placed outside
the gates to help disperse crowds of
potential gate crashers.
It has become obvious the past
two years that the concert series is
the most popular service provided
to the students. The future of this
series hangs on what happens tonight.
We have one more chance. Let's
not blow it.
Muskie Discusses
Platform With UM
By JOHN REILLY
Hurricana Nawi Editor
Senator Edmund Muskie, a
democrat from Maine,
brought his presidential campaign to UM yesterday in the
form of an hour long question and answer period with
UM students.
Muskie covered a range of
subjects including Che Washington D.C. gossip.
"Everyone in Washington
wants to be president," he
said, "except Henry Kissinger, he's happy just running
the country."
Muskie said his statement
in Los Angeles concerning a
black vice-presidential candidate was widely misunderstood.
"I said the American people are not prepared to support a national ticket with a
black on it."
Muskie said this is regrettable but the American people
would not support a black
vice-presidential candidate
for the same reason blacks
are denied equal rights  and
